Shame to see his big day spoiled by the media wanting to talk about the conviction in France for beating a woman. I never believed he was guilty. Did seem a bit of an odd choice from Theresa though there was always going to be a row.

Just another privileged celebrity getting the treatment as far as I'm concerned.
This kind of scrutiny goes with the perks of the position.

If they don't like it they could always they working for a living in a proper job.

The thing that made him a great batsman was the same thing he is being vilified for now, his character, flaws and all.

When I had stalls on the market ,someone wrote to the Manchester evening news telling them that the lady on the material stall was always helpful and had a smile on her face and wanted to express her apprecaation of her

I got very jealous and annoyed .I was the only one on the market who charged say 9.99 for a garment and give them their penny change .and I never got a mention
I always give people a carrier bag for free when their green groceries had burst their cheap plastic bag and I didn't even sell green groceries .I should of said go and get one from where you bought them.

If Boycott doesn't like the questions being asked, then why did he go on the Today programme this morning?

What did he think they were going to ask him after others had rakd up his past yesterday?

He was  playing with a batsman , can’t recall who , against a particularly tricky bowler, who went up to him during the match and said Geoffrey I’ve worked out how to play this guy
Boycott said yes I know , I knew that a couple of hours ago

Think boycott was working class , they’re like that

Report Whisperingdeath September 12, 2019 6:32 AM BST
She slipped on granite tiles.

She admitted to a friend that he did not hit her

Many of his ex’s stated for the record he never raised a finger against them

She should take a polygraph

Just because he was convicted in a French Court does not mean he is guilty

If you saw the photos yes you would think he did it but two black eyes and a broken nose could just as easily come from breaking your nose on granite

He is not a liar

How does that work if he battered her?

I have read a lot about this case. Huge degree of sympathy for Geoffrey and little or none for her tells a story!
Report Whisperingdeath September 12, 2019 1:14 PM BST
You can see the bruises under her eyes come from a broken nose and she has a bruise high on her forehead, probably from where she hit her head on the granite floor! Her face does not look like she was punched out. No bruises near the mouth. No proper shiner from a punch. Bruises come from a broken nose.

Why him? He used to bore me to death with his score rate eg 1 run for every hour - slow motion taken to the extreme. I'd rather watch paint dry.

A lot of our current players could learn a little  impossible. That's what test cricket is. Is not a 1 day game.

His interview with Anthony Clare on In The Psychiatrist's Chair is a great listen

He's an excellent summariser on TV and Radio - unlike most of the others he offers analysis which is not tainted by bias and partisanship.
